The results of the analysis may be summarized as follows: in state assembly elections, voters in India reward incumbents for local income growth, and punish them for growth in inequality, over the entire term in office.
Voters punish incumbents in local elections if inequality increases during their term in office—a 1 percent increase in average inequality in the early years (as measured by the growth in the Gini coefficient) leads to a fall of about 1.5 percentage points in the incumbent’s share of votes.
The constitution of India schedules elections to occur every five years, so some of the elections that occur before that time may be precipitated by unobserved events that affect both the economic performance variables and voters’ evaluation of incumbents.

They are not fully in the know of funds raised and expenditures incurred at the state and local levels or by the candidates themselves in the case of wealthy candidates and their relatives and supporters.
First, electioneering in India, a still largely rural country with a massive population of a billion, and a 1999 average electorate size of roughly 1.14 million per constituency, remains labour-intensive, in that it involves huge numbers of political workers moving about in vehicles in a neighbourhood-to-neighbourhood, village-to-village, door-to-door mode.
The “Americanisation” component of election expenditures can only be expected to increase in the absence of state funding, particularly paid political advertising on private TV channels, which are capturing an increasingly large share of viewership, especially in urban areas, from state-owned Doordarshan, due to the rapid spread of satellite and cable TV transmission.

 Illusion and reality: The J& K State Assembly Elections
The Election Commission of India has said it was a priority to “make available to all concerned in the state clean, legible, computerized electoral rolls of high accuracy.” These rolls should be independently audited to ensure their accuracy.
Although India has attempted to mollify concerns about their failure to provide free and fair elections in the past by allowing foreign journalists and other international observers “acting in their individual capacity.” Apparently, the Indian Government is wary of an organized, independent election monitoring effort that might question the legitimacy of its inadequate election procedures.
